I'm sure his awful regular seasons the past two years weight down his regular season numbers a little bit.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 26, 2014 -> 01:46 PM) Damn, 2 weeks in a row. He was very good the first 2 weeks. Guess I'm just glad all it is a concussion and not something worse. It must be a fairly serious concussion.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) God f***ing damnit. The game started off so great with the leadoffs HRs from Markakis and De Aza. Then Jeter got that RBI double and it was the most amazing and classy double you will ever see in your life, and doubles will never be the same after this season. Then he has that error and everything was looking awesome and hilarious again. I was so excited to see him have a 3 error game and be awful. Then enter the 9th inning, Girardi decides not to pull Jeter on defense to get his 20-minute standing ovation. Robertson then blows the game, allows Jeter to bat again. First batter gets a hit, is bunted over to 2nd, and Jeter delivers a basehit to RF and the throw is terrible and the game ends on a walk off. f***ing makes me sick. I hope he plays in Boston and his career ends on a strikeout or a DP. I hate Derek Jeter so much. Good riddance. Damn dude. I don't like Jeter, but you straight up hate him. I think it's pretty cool he got a walk-off hit in his last home game. Is all the media going to be on his dick for the next week? Yes. Do I hate that? Yes. But at the end of the day you have to admit Jeter's been a great player over his career and that's probably one of the best ways you can end a career (at home at least).

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) I started him over Romo, which I'm fine with no matter how Tony does. Don't think I would've yanked Foles for him. I wasn't confident in Foles doing well against what I still think is a decent defense in SF minus the stupid penalties. Apparently I didn't realize the Giants have a good secondary when they get a pass rush, which they're getting today. Cousins looks rattled right now. He's not making the easy throws.

So I started Cousins over Foles. If it wasn't for the fumble, I'd be looking pretty smart right now. Let's see how the last 25 minutes goes. Edit: f***, now I look stupid.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) didn't see this posted but worthy of mention ‏ How many times have we released Fiametta this year?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 01:00 PM) My sim died f***ing Fiona Gallagher. His heart exploded from all the sex. LMAO. But I didn't save the game and I am going to toggle Death off so I won't die. It's way to hard to get everything you want accomplished before you die, and I don't want to continue building this empire house with one of my 7 bastard children. This made me lol.

Those 05 highlights were so nostalgic. PK will go down as one of the greatest in Sox history and I hope his number will be retired soon.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) Completely unnecessary first paragraph in an appreciation thread. And the bold is laughable. I'm pretty sure he's being sarcastic.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) Happy Derrick won. Also heard South Park was pretty good tonight, excited to watch that in an hour. I thought SP was brilliant last night.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 11:06 PM) The League had another Raffi/Dirty Randy episode tonight, and it was hilarious. Clean Randall and Rafael.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 04:48 PM) Someone actively wanted Anquan Boldin? No, someone really wanted Jeremy Maclin. I told him I wanted more than just Morris for Maclin and he offered up Roddy White and Morris. I couldn't say no. I didn't want to just release Boldin so I threw him in there since he's my worst position player. The guy I traded with was stacked at RB (Forte, Morris, Bradshaw, Donald Brown, Miller), but didn't have any great wideouts (White, Colston, Welker). So it was a trade that alleviated both of our problems. I just ended up on the better end of it (at least it seems that way for now).

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 40m Free agent CB Champ Bailey, who feels healthy, said he is willing to play nickel or safety if that's what it takes to land a job somewhere. Feel like Conte has played well when he's out there, but this is a little intriguing to me. A 36 year old Safety? No thanks. There's a reason Adrian Wilson didn't make this team despite our s***ty safety situation.

So I made a couple of trades... I transformed this: QB Foles HB1 Charles HB2 Stacy WR1 Nelson WR2 Maclin FLEX Sanders RB3 Ridley WR3 Crabtree WR4 Boldin into this... QB Foles HB1 Charles HB2 Morris WR1 Nelson WR2 Sanders FLEX Cobb RB3 Ridley WR3 Crabtree WR4 White Trade 1: Morris and White for Maclin and Boldin Trade 2: Stacy for Cobb I used my WR depth to score Morris. Then I used my RB depth to get Cobb. I had been trying to get Morris for Stacy and this accomplishes that and then some. I basically replace Maclin with Cobb, which I'm fine with. Now I'll have a dilemma every week as to who to start as my WR2 and FLEX. Before you tell me my league's too easy, bear in mind this is a 12 team league that's played together for 4 years now.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 03:49 PM) Never heard of them, now must have them. Fairly durable too. I had their Slim Armor with my Nexus 5 and I didn't care when I dropped my phone.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 02:18 PM) I loved the feel of the phone and it didn't feel that big too me. I am looking at the Spigen ultra fit case. It is their thinnest and less protective case they have and it is only $10 on Amazon, figured I would get it just in case I want to have a case on it if I go somewhere. I highly recommend Spigen. They make some of the nicest looking and best quality cases.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 11:38 AM) Proposed Zac Stacy and Sammy Watkins for Marshawn Lynch Not enough? Yeah I'd want more for Lynch. Watkins is too inconsistent and Stacy is a volume runner.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:57 AM) Yeah, Steve, you're right. I never logged in to ESPN to accept the trade. It was still sitting out there open. I guess I could have done it from my phone, but I was just waiting until we got home. Technically, there is a 2-day veto period. So trades don't go through for 48 hours. In our league, however, we just ask the commish to push it through without having to wait so that people can make wavier claims, other trades, etc. Like you said, you should never mention a trade to anyone else until it's officially accepted. I know that. But as I mentioned, the only reason I even told him was because I needed his help pushing it through so that I could make waiver claims last night and add a new TE. I certainly would never tell anyone else in our league. Oh, well then that's not as big of a deal. Telling him about it without accepting was an error on your part.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 05:29 AM) While it was a dick move, it sounds like you never completed the trade. You should hate accepted before telling anyone else. In my league, trades just go through. The commish shouldn't have any extra power. I'm pretty sure the trade was proposed and accepted on the site, the commish just had to approve. So it was technically agreed to and completed and then the commissioner decided to abuse his power.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 12:19 AM) Alright, I have to pose this scenario and y'all tell me if I have a right to be mad or not. Currently, I'm pretty pissed... My roommate is also my league commissioner for a league with all of our old college buddies. We were out at dinner when I got a trade offer I had worked all day on getting. Our league doesn't do official veto's, so the commish just accepts all trades as soon as the 2 parties agree. So I ask him "Hey, when we get home, will you go ahead and approve a trade I just made?" He says sure, then he asks who I traded for. I tell him because I didn't think it was a big deal. Apparently while we were eating, he texts our buddy who I made the trade with and tells him he'll up the offer and to cancel the one he made to me. That's f***ed up, right? I would never tell anyone else in my fantasy league about a potential trade. But because he's our commish and I need his approval to push it through, I thought it would be fine. He's completely in the wrong, right? If he wasn't the commish, I'd have never even mentioned the trade. He abused his power, correct? I know it's just fantasy football, so I feel a little stupid being mad over this. But I can't help it. The fact that he'd cancel the trade is what's messed up. If he wasn't commissioner, he wouldn't be able to do that.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:10 AM) Quick Google search shows they bend. http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m...73-bent-m8.html This is exactly what I mean by it's news if Apple is involved, but nobody cares otherwise. It probably is overblown, but your example is of a phone bending that's been out for half a year. And I also searched on Google and found maybe 2-3 forum posts about it. I don't think this is a metal problem, it's a design or manufacturing problem.

So, uh, this is bad. I'm not sure how much force he used exactly, but It looks like it didn't take that much. Not sure if this is a manufacturing defect or a design defect. Either way, Apple's got some work to do. Note 3 bend test: In this case, plastic is actually more durable than metal.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) So in madden I am accelerating through the hole and my RB keeps pitching or fumbling way backwards. Glitch? You're hitting the left bumper. That's the lateral button.

QUOTE (TRU @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) That's stupid, why cant I complete streak routes all game that's what real football is. I don't want to have to run slants and option routes, I just want to throw deep bombs to wide open receivers all game. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic. Real football is not throwing streaks all game. Even the Broncos can't do that.
